Par value. Par value is the face value, or named value, of a stock or bond. With stocks, the par value, which is frequently set at $1, is used as an accounting device but has no relationship to the actual market value of the stock.
The par value of common stock is usually a very small insignificant amount that was required by state laws many years ago. Because of those existing laws whenever a share of stock is issued, the par value is recorded in a separate stockholders' equity account in the general ledger.
